Slime Rancher

I could go on about mechanics and other boring stuff, but the most important thing to know about this game is that you can get booped by a kitty slime. For 20$, it was a bit much when it launched in Early Access/In-Dev. Even now maybe 15 or so would've been more appropriate, but you definitely get a lot of slime for your dollar now -- especially when it goes on sale, which is frequently enough. There is a time investment involved if you want to grab everything, but the pace is super-casual (unless you're playing on Rush mode) and death is generally rare enough to be more of a nuisance than an obstacle, especially once you've got your upgrades nailed down. There's not much of a story, but there is a bit of backstory from the former owner, as well as blips into the PC's prior life. Its perfect for this style of game; what story it has is there, but doesn't interfere with the ranching life. You can even completely ignore the emails at your home and signposts in the world for the most part; it's that kind of game. As for the ranching part... what is there to say? Some of the slimes are annoying to keep around (not gonna spoil anything but one inparticular does NOT like to stay in its corral!), but they're so adorable you forget all about that when they're happily bouncing around. Just make sure not to cross TOO many or they'll go evil (if you're not on Casual mode, which I'd recommend for starters) and you'll either have to spray down the tar slime until it goes away or risk a full-on conversion in your pens. Overall, the game has a peaceful pace with moments of frantic action either as you scramble through a dangerous area or fight off tar slimes, spaced out far enough that they only become frustrating early on. Just keep at it, upgrade your gear, and don't lose your head when things start going crazy, and you should get through just fine.

I really like the game, its a fun farming game, i mean JUST LOOK AT THE CUTE FACES. it has quite alot of content with plenty of stuff to keep you going, i recommend this to anyone looking to relax, please add the free dlc tho.. plz

This is more of console game than PC and would really suit Nintendo. It's cute, family oriented and fun. My general rule of thumb for deciding if a game is good vaue is £1 = 1 hour of enjoyment. This is more than good value for money, it's excellent. That said, It's not the sort of game that thrills me. Good parts: Enjoyable, easy to learn and enjoy, lots to explore and build Bad parts: None that I can think of. Why three stars? It doesn't thrill me. Who would enjoy this? People who like the Mario games, Luigi's Mansion, Stardew Valley etc. Good, clean fun and something to wile away the hours without getting stressed, but without being bored witless.

This is a game with a very positive vibe. Nice to play, no stress, no grinding, just fun.

I fricking love this game so much its so fun and relaxing
